You'll be hard pressed to find a mechanic that won't tell you about the higher failure rate of SRAM components. Luckily SRAM has great customer service, and they usually replace failed components(even beyond their warranty period). Ask around at a few shops, and be sure to speak to mechanics with several years of experience.
